Legacy Unlocked: The Shift that Changes Everything
Presenter: Carin Pinto
In a world that constantly redefines who we’re “supposed” to be, discovering our true identity feels like a journey we’re all on. But what if your identity isn’t just key to who you are today, but also to the legacy you’ll leave? Each of us carries the potential to create something lasting, something that will impact not only ourselves but also generations to come. Legacy is alive; it’s something you are creating right now.
Singleness, Loneliness and the Family of God
Presenter: Jem Marshall
Singleness and loneliness do not have to be the same thing. God has given us the gift of His children in the family of God where we can grow and thrive, but we often view that family as second tier to a spouse. We often believe that the only worthy partner in the journey is that of a husband or wife, when God has given us His children. Acknowledging this does not negate the good desire for marriage, but attests to the goodness of God’s design in His family.
afternoon Workshops (1:00 pM - 2:30 PM)

Thriving in the Wait
Presenter: Latonia Oyeniran
Are you stuck in life's waiting room—praying for a job, a relationship, or a breakthrough? Waiting can feel frustrating, but God doesn't call us to idly pass the time. Instead, He calls us to thrive where we are, even in seasons of waiting. In this workshop, we’ll dive into the book of Jeremiah to discover practical ways to grow and flourish while we wait for God’s timing.
